It’s no secret that Haute 100 lister Tony Bennett has had an enviable music career, and at 86 years old, there’s no sign of Bennett slowing down.

The legendary artist recently announced an in-the-works collaboration with Lady Gaga, where the two will be producing a jazz album together. Here’s what Bennett had to say about his new partner:

“A lot of people don’t know it, but she’s a phenomenal jazz singer. She’s a good friend and I respect that she’s so creative, that every day she changes, she has so many ideas and carries them out. She just never stops with it. I call her the musical Picasso.”
